Saturday 10 February Top of the Bay Regatta at Williamstown Sailing Club
For members of clubs from Elwood to Altona including the two Albert Park Lake clubs. Notice of Race and online entry for this annual event on the afternoon of 10 February is at https://www.williamstownsailingclub.org.au/events/218302/
This year there will again be a combined ASC and APYC club entry, and we need at least 5 entries from each club. There will be no racing at the Lake on that day.
Aero National Championships at Mount Martha Yacht Club:
Ron Fergusson was against a tough fleet at these National Championships, including Krystal Weir, ex World Champion and Olympian. Not surprisingly, Krystal won the Aero 7 title, with Ron in a very credible 10th position overall, including one 3rd placing. Great effort Ron.

Recycling Cans and Bottles:
The club now has an account so that you can save all of those 10c recyclable containers and then donate the money to the club. If you want to collect/donate locally, full details of how to do this and the relevant bar-code/ID number are available from Cindy (admin@albertsc.org.au or at the club). The kids/grandkids will love the process of feeding your cans into the machine if you have a local depot!
Alternatively, save and bring your eligible bottles/cans to the club and deposit them where indicated in the marked containers near the upstairs door and downstairs near the bins. Please check the eligibility mark on the can/bottle first and do not crush any cans. Wine bottles are not eligible.This is an easy way to contribute to club funds as well as helping the environment. Collect your own, collect from your neighbours, and let’s all get on board with this simple fundraising effort for our club. If 50 club members each donated 1 container per day, the club would be over $1800 better of at the end of one year. Very worthwhile.
